4 candidates to an election try to tame the crowd.

Press ENTER to reload.

In the simulation:

• 5 topics are discussed : the ideas about those topics can be polarized "green" or "red" , or in between "yellow". 2 topics are presented at once.
• The candidates regularly make a poll on 10% of the electors to select the hottest topics and guess what is best.
• The media regularly bring up ideas about topics and electors may change their mind.
• Finally, each elector is attracted to the candidate presenting the two ideas fitting the best.

A submission to the Trijam #294: The 3 hour game jam, where you have to code a game in three hours. The theme was "accumulate power".

I designed the game on paper in 2 hours.

I coded the simulation part in roughly 3 hours. Surprisingly, it kinds of work.

I don't have the time to implement the "game part" where you were supposed to take the control of a candidate and try to propose the best ideas to be elected by observing polling results and crowd's reactions to other candidates ideas.

I don't have time to make any tuning (based on what anyway??). It would probably take me hours to make something playable.

No music, no attractive visuals. That's not a game (yet?), but, it's still fun to watch I think. And I'm happy with the behavior of the crowd.
